As I mentioned yesterday, MrsBlue and I are celebrating our anniversary, as we got married 29 years ago today. Thank you so much for your well wishing for the occasion. We had a fine time at dinner last night. The service was meh, but the food and atmosphere were both excellent, so on balance it was more than fine.

For followers of the NFL draft, day three is always interesting, and yesterday was no exception. I'm ecstatic that my Giants managed to pick up my favorite draft prospect in the fourth round. And the mysterious Shedeur Sanders slide ended when the Browns drafted him in the fifth(!) round. Dropping to 144th after potentially being a top-five pick seems like a real character check for someone who's been hearing lots of questions about his makeup. I think the video of him celebrating the news of his selection speaks volumes about his resilience, as you wouldn't be able to tell he wasn't the first overall pick from his joyous dancing. He seems like a real self-righting boat, which has to be a real asset for a pro athlete. It will be interesting to see how his career ends up playing out.
